Adult Students and Enthusiasts

I'm a few days away from 52, and took my first formal dance class 2 years ago. After being home with the kids so to speak for 18 years, it was not easy walking into that class, practically draggin my hub all the way.
But, I love dance. It's likely in the genes. My dad and his kid sister were competitive ballroom dancers in the late 1930's/ early 1940's. When the Big Band era was at its height. Giving credit were it's due, he did try to teach me at least the basics of cha cha, rhumba, etc. but I was a teen and too into my own things. I lived for two things then. The stage, i.e. Drama Club, and the track, i.e. Cross Country running. There simply wasn't time!

Well, it's been a journey since then, and one I absolutely love and would not have missed for anything! My husband (finally) got into it and that made all the difference. We have taken private lessons, and that really got us going in the right direction.

I would love to hear from anyone who has stories about their experiences with bringing the love of dance into their lives beyond childhood!

Best to all!
